Parents Not Comfortable with Sending Children to School Can Keep them Home

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says parents who are not comfortable with taking their children to school are at liberty to keep them at home.

Motshekga gave a briefing on schools state of readiness on Sunday ahead of a further reopening of the sector during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Over 2 million grade R, 6 and 11 pupils will return to the classrooms on Monday after almost four months at home.

She says provinces are at different levels of readiness to return Grade R learners.

“We agree that those provinces that are not ready to receive Grade R’s must provide strategic and realizable plans to ensure the re-incorporation of Grade R learners to school within and later than the end of July.”

Motshekga says provinces that are ready to receive the Grade R pupils should proceed to receive learners.

“What is critically important that all Grade R and pre-Grade R learners in schools who have already returned to schools must remain in schools. Those schools that meet the health, safety and social distancing protocols can reopen for the Grade R and pre-Grade R’s tomorrow.”

Motshekga says it’s not easy running schools under the COVID-19 environment.
